When the Moon Hits Your Eye

An absolute riot of a book for the most part, WTMHYE explores the "what if?" scenario of the moon suddenly turning into a cheese-like substance, explored via numerous non-interconnected viewpoints. This was a LOT of fun, with Scalzi's typical endearing and entertaining prose and humor, and a lot of fun scenarios explored. On the negative side, I found some of the storylines a bit hard to engage with as they sometimes felt like a bunch of backstory and then a few minutes of interacting with cheesemoon, however most were engaging and added a lot to the story.
Scalzi has a tendency to write 'too perfect' dialogue - everyone is sharp, witty, has the right thing to say, and that's on display in this novel, but it's just so entertaining you don't really care. Overall, I really enjoyed it but didn't *LOVE* it, but would still recommend it to anyone and everyone since Scalzi is such an easy and fun read across all of his novels.
Wil Wheaton was, again, notably excellent narrating a Scalzi novel, and I agree with the afterword - Wheaton has become how I hear Scalzi prose in my head, through and through, despite how brilliant Dufris was on the OMW series.
